The Utah Jazz are not going to go very far in the playoffs without Carlos Boozer. They will find out today if they will have to try.
Boozer left Tuesday night's game in the second quarter, went back to the locker room and did not play another minute in the Jazz's win.
The injury is described as a strained muscle in his right rib cage. According to Ross Siler of the Salt Lake Tribune, X-rays were negative. Boozer is scheduled for an MRI today. Aside that, we don't know much about the injury.
His status for a key showdown with the Phoenix Suns Wednesday night is not known. If Boozer does not play, Paul Milsap will get the start. Boozer likely will try to be in the lineup when the playoffs start this weekend, but the MRI likely will determine his status for that.

well…its a contract year, maybe that will help him play through it.
- rws - Apr 14, 2010 at 4:26 PM
excuse me Jeff but that's a pretty stupid thing to say! It may be Booz's contract year, but believe me not one Jazz has played with more heart this year than that guy!
I hope to God he plays because the Jazz go no where without him and DWill knows it too. Booz is playing for the Utah Jazz, not for his contract. Its guys like you that stir up all this s–t!
- skeep - Apr 14, 2010 at 4:51 PM
rws = whining chicken
Boozer is playing for the money you think he wants to stay in Utah? I know I didn't.
- Chris O'Brien - Apr 14, 2010 at 8:37 PM
If Carlos Boozer thinks he can get more money elsewhere, more power to him. However, where else can you go where you have 19,911 fans on their feet every home game yelling "Boooooooze!?" Where else can he go where he will be appreciated and his team will make the playoffs year after year?

Gun ownership in America |
Why I own a gun...
- dsashin, CNN iReport producer
I'm a former Police Officer and can tell you from experiences that there are a lot of people out there that want to pray on the weak and defenseless. The criminal element loves gun control and knows when and where guns are allowed. (Some are very smart) I own and carry a gun to protect my family friends and if necessary citizens that may need help from criminals that have no regard for human life. I'm not out looking for trouble but if trouble shows up I want to be prepared.
Lets keep in mind that its the everyday citizen first on scene 98% of the time not the Police.

text: Mar 6, 2014 18:40 Seth Fontenot trial delayed over defense funds issue Seth Fontenot trial delayed over defense funds issue Seth Fontenot Public defender funds not available right now Billy Gunn| email@example.com March 06, 2014 Comments LAFAYETTE — A judge delayed Seth Fontenot's murder trial for a third time Thursday, pushing the start date from April to September because state funds have been unavailable to pay for an investigator and expert witnesses needed to defend the former college student. Judge Edward Rubin said he was bound by another 15th District judge's order in 2013 commanding the district's Indigent Defender's Office to provide money for Fontenot's defense. He reset the trial for Sept. 22. Fontenot's trial on one count of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder had been set for the week of April 21. Fontenot, now 19, is accused of firing three shots at a fleeing truck outside his home Feb. 10, 2013, killing St. Thomas More High School freshman Austin Rivault and wounding two other teens. Fontenot told investigators he fired at the truck's tail lights to scare the boys he suspected were trying to break into his vehicle. Fontenot was indicted in the weeks following the killing, which occurred on an early Sunday morning. Fontenot and his family did not attend the hearing Thursday. Rivault's parents were there. Judge Kristian Earles granted Fontenot's request last year for public funds to aid in his defense, even though Fontenot's family is paying noted criminal defense attorney Thomas Guilbeau for legal representation. Earles presided over Fontenot's case until the end of 2013, with Rubin taking the case in January. Paul Marx, who heads the 15th Judicial District's Indigent Defender Office, said after the hearing his office did not have available money for Fontenot in this fiscal year, which ends June 30. Marx declined further comment, citing a standing gag order imposed by Earles last year. During the hearing Thursday, Guilbeau and prosecutors Mark Garber and J.M. Prather engaged in a discussion that got heated. "We have several issues regarding the funding of our experts," Guilbeau said. Guilbeau said he wanted to keep the trial's April date, but that he hasn't been able to prepare the case without state funding. He said that even though Fontenot is not facing a death penalty, it is still a first-degree murder trial, which usually takes years to bring to trial. "As of the tenth of this month (February), this case was one year old," he said. "This is a very fast first-degree murder case." Garber and Prather, protesting the trial's second rescheduling, said they were ready to try the case April 21. "The Rivaults (Austin Rivault's family) are entitled to a resolution of the trial," Prather said, protesting the trial's September start date, the fourth after delays in November and December in 2013, and now April. Prather also took issue with Guilbeau's plan to submit a motion asking Rubin to rule out a piece of evidence that Earles last year said could be used against Fontenot at the trial. "We will file a motion to consider the text message — expressly the one with the N-word," Guilbeau said. The statement prompted Prather to respond, "Well, that's judge shopping." At an evidence hearing Nov. 4, Earles said he would allow a cell phone text made by Fontenot that used a racial slur. At another hearing on Nov. 14, Guilbeau protested the inclusion of the text as evidence, and also about Earles allowing the text and other sensitive material to be seen and heard in a courtroom full of news reporters. "We will not pick a jury in this parish, your honor," Guilbeau said. After the hearings in November, Guilbeau asked the state's appellate courts to review Earles decision on the text and other evidence. According to Louisiana Supreme Court documents, the state's highest court refused to take up the appeal, which let Earles' decisions on the evidence stand. In January, Earles rotated from Lafayette Parish to the Acadia Parish courtrooms of the 15th Judicial District's three-parish region, which includes Vermilion Parish.

NASA's First Obama-Enforced Commercial Space Spend Includes Bezos' Blue Origin
We'd heard that the budget trims would force NASA to include commercial space companies in its operating budget, and the agency has wasted no time at all: It's announced a $50 million investment to boost commercial astronaut flights.
"The president has asked NASA to partner with the aerospace industry in a fundamentally new way, making commercially provided services the primary mode of astronaut transportation to the International Space Station," said the agency's administrator Charles Bolden, in a NASA press release.
He continues by saying that, "We are pleased to be able to quickly move forward to advance this exciting plan for NASA." And that's pretty revealing—it suggests NASA's been expecting things to play out like this for some time.
The money is coming from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and it's being shared out like this:
- Sierra Nevada Corporation gets $20 million
- The Boeing Company gets $18 million
- United Launch Alliance gets $6.7 million
- Blue Origin gets $3.7 million
- Paragon Space Development Corporation gets $1.4 million
According to NASA the funds are for "the development of crew concepts and technology demonstrations and investigations for future commercial support of human spaceflight" under Space Act Agreements, and all the recipients plan to leverage this tax money with other investments. And they have to get moving swiftly—the first performance milestones are in February.
Boeing is an obvious name among this list, and most intriguingly it was partly behind a formal protest that briefly halted previous efforts on the commercial spaceflight front when NASA first selected SpaceX and Orbital Science Corp. for the post-Space Shuttle astronaut-ferrying rocket program. Another complainant there, Lockheed Martin Corporation, is also involved in the new NASA investments, as it has a hand in the United Launch Alliance joint venture, which has been providing space launch support services to NASA and the DoD for years.
The upshot of the presidential re-direction of NASA would seem to be pretty much as expected then—the usual big-name aerospace and defense suspects are getting a bigger slice of space cash, but have to rub shoulders with some novel new players. Now we'll really see how nimble those space stalwarts are compared to the upstarts. In this case it's Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin company, busy building its sub-orbital New Shepard private spacecraft out in Texas, and the Sierra Nevada folks who already support military and NASA space tech as well as exploring new developments of their own Dream Chaser private space plane.
Suddenly the future of human spaceflight doesn't look quite as dim as it could have done, don't you think?

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Dec. 13, 2012 Investigators at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center have concluded research on a new postmenopausal hormone therapy that shows promise as an effective treatment for menopausal symptoms and the prevention of osteoporosis without increasing the risk for heart disease or breast cancer.
Traditional forms of hormone therapy (HT) provide the benefits of symptom relief, prevention of osteoporosis and prevention of atherosclerosis, but increase the risk of uterine cancer (with estrogens alone) or breast cancer (with combined estrogens and progestins). Thus, the risk-benefit ratio of traditional HT is not ideal. Less potent plant-derived estrogens are relatively safe, but less effective. Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) provide both beneficial effects and adverse effects, but the ideal treatment has proven elusive, said J. Mark Cline, D.V.M., Ph.D., one of the co-authors.
The Wake Forest Baptist team worked in partnership with the pharmaceutical company Pfizer to explore a new strategy, termed a Tissue Selective Estrogen Combination (TSEC). Using this strategy, a conventional estrogen (CEE) was combined with a bone-protective SERM-like drug, bazedoxifene acetate (BZA), to produce a complementary pattern of tissue effects that maximize the benefits of HT while avoiding the risk. The study involved a 20-month randomized, parallel-arm trial which has a comparison group and at least one new or active therapy group in postmenopausal nonhuman primates, designed to determine the effect of TSEC treatment on the breast, uterus and cardiovascular system.
The TSEC strategy has been evaluated in the Selective estrogens, Menopause, And Response to Therapy (SMART) phase 3 trials involving more than 6,000 women. Cline said the Wake Forest Baptist nonhuman primate trials are important because they can address tissue responses directly, whereas studies in women use clinical outcomes that may require many ye

Hi! I'm new in YAML, but I think it's a great data exchange and configuration format. Possible to the W3C support that format? I think it's more compact and readable than XML, so it's require less bandwidth, support some native types (sequence, map, boolean, date) and maybe the parser is faster. It's better than JSon and XML for RPC/SOAP language (JSON not support binary tag, SOAP parsing is very slow), and better than RSS/ATOM (More readable, binary support for images, compact, can handle references, http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/EchoExampleYaml) Cow ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

Certain buttons were'not working Brent T. • Easton, MD • November 17, 2014 Appliance: Maytag 27" Built-in Electric Oven Self-Clean MEW5527DDW16 My Repair & Advice One day my wife went to bake something and the bake/broil buttons as well as #3, #9, and oven light ceased to work. Local repair guy came by and wanted to charge $500 to fix it....YEAH RIGHT! Did a little homework and found this website, spoke with knowledgable staff who pointed me in the right direction. Took me all of about 20 minutes to install new control panel..everything works perfect...THANKS! p.s. In doing my research come to find Maytag did little to insulate control panel from oven heat and that using the "oven clean" function can cause so much heat it damages the internals of control panel...figures as I remember my wife using the cleaning mode for the first time not long before everything went haywire. Suggest you stay away from that mode and just be careful when in broil mode as well... Was this review helpful to you?
Kitchen aid dishwasher the press button panel was peeling and the interior buttons were broken Shane M. • Port Jefferson Station, NY • January 31, 2015 Appliance: Model KITHCHEN AID DISHWASHER My Repair & Advice Ordered a new face panel and circuit board. The board had the buttons on it. Simply took the old parts off and replaced them with the new ones. Was this review helpful to you?
Dryer making loud noise like the belt was starting to come apart Douglas M. • Lowell, MA • January 10, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Dryer-Ele MDE308DAYW My Repair & Advice After watching the repair video I opened up the dryer without any problems and found that the belt tension pully bearing failed and the mount arm had an excessive amount play in it. So armed with the part numbers I found here I went down to the local parts store and found that they did not stock the parts but could get them in a week. I went home and ordered them on line and had them the next day. I did vary from the video a bit. I uncliped the motor wire connector and removed the two screws holding the motor in. Then took the motor assembly out and did the work on the work bench. I also replaced the belt. Was this review helpful to you?

Great product
Like all Guy Harvey products, this T-shirt was great quality and super comfy. It has quickly become my favorite T, and it's perfect for fall. I love the detail on the sleeve, and the graphic. I got it in a medium so it would be kind of baggy, and it looks great.

Judith Shulevitz's recent New Republic essay on how later parenthood is "upending American society" claims that delaying kids could lead us down a rabbit hole of genetic decline. But the evidence is inconclusive and somewhat anecdotal.
New CDC birth data out Wednesday confirm that the U.S. birthrate dropped one percent to reach an all-time low in 2011, extending the downward trend begun with the recession in 2008. Put down your knee-jerk fears about smaller population. This drop is a good sign, foretelling not a diminished but a strengthened workforce down the line.
Birth control has unraveled the social fabric that bound all but the very exceptional women with shackles of shame, violence and penury. There's a way to go before we weave a pattern of full fairness, but there's no going back. Good riddance. The queen is dead. Long live the enfranchised citizen.
Women's history month 2011 provides a special kind of lesson. At least since Helen of Troy, our leaders have been actively denying women the right to choose how to run their private lives.
At first blush, the debate over the Paycheck Fairness Act may not look like part of our ongoing national fertility discourse. But failure to pass the PFA will give women yet another reason to have fewer kids.
Fertility rates in the US have fallen. But the needs of the news cycle for drama notwithstanding, nothing drastic or frightening is happening on the fertility front this year. It's just plain family planning.
Last month Pew Research Center confirmed there are indeed more older moms around. This month they report fewer women are having kids. Both reports resonate with the recent 50-year anniversary of the birth control pill.
The birth control pill helped redefine the dynamics of motherhood and transform the lives of women, men and their kids, both physically and socially.
Hot on the heels of last month's fertility scaremongering about ovarian reserve came a new scare for women planning to start their families later, this one about autism. Once again, reporting ignored essential facts and skewed the takeaway.
Childless women of all ages are under assault. If you're a teenager, you're pushed toward motherhood by "moralizers." If you're a woman 35 or older, you're subject to ominous news stories about fertility anxiety.

2003 Ford Expedition Q&A
2003 Ford Expedition Question: My A/C get "cold" even at lowest setting, and back vents blow even hotter air.
It has been hot since late spring, and we have had triple digit heat in my city for weeks now, but my trusty 2003 Expedition has previously handled this kind of weather like a champ! The Ford dealer serviced my car early last month(105K service!!) and I was told my A/C didn't need a charge even though I told them that I didn't feel it was cooling as effectively as before. The service department said "it can't cool as well when the outside temps are this high", and I just accepted that. But for the past two days, the air it blows is barely cool! I was told by a Sears Service tech today that I need a new "head control" installed, and failure of that part is fairly common. He said I should take it back to Ford! What does this mean, and what should I expect it to cost? I can't take this heat without my Expedition functioning up to par!! I would appreciate any insights. - 4betterorworse

As a moderator, I deem yes.
there is no denying that the mods can do whatever they want within the limits they set for other users. but keep in mind that a website is nothing without its users, and if a site is known for notoriously anal moderators...dammit i forget what im talking about again.
I'll finish your statement-
Then the site would gain a negative reputation, and it would lose some of the aforementioned members.
While it is "your house" it's still up to us members to keep the site alive.Moderators, like police officers, should be there to "serve and protect." Serving members by helping them to understand forums, how to post, setting a good example for members, and showing them how to navigate the site. And protecting members by banning disruptive posters, and keeping the forums running smoothly in every way possible.Anyway, that's my take on moderators.

Bridget's Face
When I left the hospital last night to walk Longwood to Brookline and the Yawkey House, I got the yen for a cold one. I stopped at the Longwood Inn which is next to the hospital and housed in the Best Western Building. As you might imagine, at any given time it might be filled with hospital employees, visitors, vendors and consultants working in the area. Last night was no different.
The bartender asked if I wanted a menu and a woman seated nearby commented that the food was absolutely great. I had already eaten but it was nice to know that a good place was so close. As all things in the Longwood Area are health related you are never more than a degree or two from people who share the pain of disease.
The woman seated near me was mother of four and she had been here a week with a daughter who had an extremely rare disorder, that is usually confined to the liver. Her daughter's was not confined and raging throughout the child's body, destroying many organs. Needless to say, this had been a long road for her and her daughter, in and out of many hospitals with many misdiagnoses. We talked a while swapping family medical stories. Toward the end of our chat she asked what I saw for the future of my grandchildren. I summarized the best I could. I asked her about the future she saw for her daughter. She looked directly at me and said, "It may not be long before I take my daughter home for a service and take up raising my other three children".
I walked slowly home with lump in my throat. I woke up around three and I could still see her face clearly. Her eyes were filled with tears; her face was strong and determined. Her name was Bridget.

Wow. No matter what the outcome, that girl will have a wonderful place of peace in Heaven and I hope her Mom can share that peace with her even while still here on earth as she may yearn to be with her child one day again, and indeed will be.

WE ARE FORGETTING GRAVITY. We formed in late summer '08 to make music we like rather than what's easy to make. We record all our demo's at home, with little equipment and a lot of hard-work. We sound just as big live as on recordings, there's no compromise because there's only two of us. Watch this space…
No blog entries have been posted here. Boring yes, but as confucius says - if you have nothing good to say, why say anything at all? Check back later, perhaps something exciting will pop-up and be worth blogging about, like season 3 of the teletubbies.
Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!

Tried searching, found nothing.
I put my Honda foreman in the bed of my truck which prevents me from being able to shut the tailgate. What is a good safe way to secure the tailgate at an angle so that I can still use the tow hitch?? Im also thinking of using one of those hitch racks to throw stuff on but once again need the tailgate lifted up out of the way. What works for you?
I don't want to take the tailgate off in said situations.

Get in the Modding Game
Faced with the task of creating a complete case mod from scratch, the possibilities are endless. You are free to create literally anything you can dream up, within the limits of your budget and skillset. Assuming adequate amounts of both, this creative freedom is both liberating and daunting at the same time. Where do you start?
Over the years, we have seen the full spectrum of the community's imagination, from the chrome-plated craziness of
to a PC inside a
remote-controlled Hummer
. A popular route is to create a mod based around a theme inspired from popular culture. Scandanavian engraving superstars GoTaLL and Wolverine have produced popular cases inspired by the Hollywood blockbusters
Alien Versus Predator
Star Wars
The other alternative is to create a case themed around a particular game. One of the most recognisable game-themed case mods is Piloux's
Blackmesa II Half-Life 2 case mod
, commissioned by Valve to sit in their meeting room. Plus who can forget
Crimson Sky's Doom 3 Mars City
mod? Of course, not all game-themed mods have to take months and cost thousands - check out our own Dave Williams'
Hidden & Dangerous 2 Ammo Boxes
to pick up tips on how to create great effects on a budget.
Guild Wars Factions Mod
We first met Keirin Garner at the recent
i27 LAN Party
. We were attracted instantly to his eye-catching case, themed around the MMO
Guild Wars Factions
The case was absolutely
and featured some top quality airbrush art as well as a crazy watercooling setup. We knew immediately that we wanted to share this case with
readers so we booked a time to visit Keirin at his Southampton home to take a closer look.
bit-tech: What inspired you to get into modding, and create this case?
, I saw Gunsmith's case with the window etch -
Project KOS MOS
. When I started off, I wanted the Guild Wars character etched on a window. I asked a company if they could do an etch said 'yes', then 'no', and then they never replied back.
Project KOS MOS by Gunsmith
I watched hours and hours of
American Chopper
, Custom Bike Build Off. Anything to do with cars or spray painting on the Discovery Channel, I watched it. Then the reruns. Then the +1 (one hour time delayed broadcasts) to keep picking up tips. I've always been kind of arty. I used to draw quite a lot - it was my best GCSE with an A - the rest of them weren't too good. I've never carried on drawing since I left school, but I was inspired to start again for this case.
bit-tech: So the idea was to be like the big Lian Li case, and have all the components on one side and the cooling on the other?
American Chopper - modding a bike ain't so different to modding a PC
Some of the best mods have originated from server cases. There usually big and very solidly-built, meaning you can chop them up and they still hold together nicely. A firm favourite of ours is the
Yeong-Yang Cube Server Case
, rapidly nicknamed the Borg Cube by the modding community, for obvious reasons. We were modding these five years ago, but they're still going strong. The most recent project we have seen to use one was
Battlefield 2
by German modder Oliver König aka Butterkneter.
Yeong Yang Borg Cube (left) transformed by Butterkneter into a bomb-proof Battlefield 2 mod (right)
However, with a limited budget, Keirin took a different path for this Guild Wars Factions project...

Hey so i just joined today because I have to start this diet where I eliminate the top 4 allergens (dairy, soy, corn, eggs) for 3 weeks.
I need to eat a lot of raw food every day but I'm so picky and don't know what my options are! So I wanted to come here and see
what kinds of recipes and other people's ideas there are. One step at a time (:

Contact: Julie Malvitz 406-587-6794
BOZEMAN, Mont., Jan. 31, 2014–Farmers and ranchers whose business is set up as an entity must obtain a DUNS number and have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) to receive payments under a funded contract.
A DUNS number is a unique nine-character identification number provided by the commercial company Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). You may request one through the D&B DUNS special toll-free number for Federal award applicants: 1 (866) 705-5711. Tell the operator that you are applying to a Federal financial assistance program and need to register for a DUNS number. You can also register for a DUNS number through D&B's website at fedgov.dnb.com/webform. Obtaining a DUNS number is free for all entities doing business with the federal government.
Once you have a DUNS number, you must register with System for Award Management and complete other reporting requirements. To register with SAM, go to www.sam.gov. SAM is a free government-wide registry for vendors doing business with the Federal government. Your SAM registration needs to be renewed every year to remain active.

Ye, i'm looking forward to see new content with same exact bugs reported from months still here or renewed again (party split back was the most hylarious and it's back ) and more new bugged junk waiting us to be exploited.
That was a minor content update that was rushed becase Anet didn't expect people to blaze through the at-launch content as fast as they did. They even explained this. The January/February update is being labeled as an entire expansion. Why are you complaining about new content?
If you're going to be this negative, why are you even playing the game?
I and many others do care about them. Amazing how there might be opinions different from yours and those in this thread, eh?

I bought GW2 for all that I liked in GW1 and the improvements that came with GW2. That includes tonics.
Waar Kijk Je Naar, on 19 December 2012 - 10:24 AM, said:
I don't hate tonics, but I hate that these things appear to take dev-time away from things that this game lacks, aka stuff worth buying.
Are you kidding me with this post? Do you not think there are opinions aside from your own? There are people who like the holiday skins and were it not for the fact that I've already found weapon skins that I love more than anything else I'd probably buy more skins than I already have.
While I, personally, don't like the earmuffs, I've seen people put them to good use, and the santa hat helps people get into the spirit of Wintersday.
What dev time? Are you not even thinking about what you're saying? It would take, at most, half an hour to make a tonic because they use already existing animations on an already existing model with the occasional already existing projectile. The only work in making a tonic is stitching numbers together. You wanna know what you'd get if they never made a single tonic and put all that dev time into other game content? A monster. One monster. You'd get pretty much one new monster if they converted all of that time making tonics into other game content.
And let's think about that again, "the spirit of Wintersday".
Why are there people bitching about things added for fun on Wintersday?
Do you people not like fun!?

Then you have the nodding heads. "Yes, yes! Tell us what's best for us!"
And I find that more than a little disturbing. But the problem with this approach is that the nodding heads are a vast minority of easily manipulatable people, and the vast majority are (I want to believe) too smart to fall for such base chicanery. I think that the average person on the street believes that the best deal is a price-for-product transaction, clearly laid out in obvious terms.
In the real world, outside of this little MMO sphere, we have regulatory committees that actually put a kibosh on predatory business tactics like those I've seen in GW2. Forcing people to face soul-sucking grind or buy gems is a very predatory business tactic, the black lion chests and magic forge are obvious gambling techniques which are illegal in some countries/states.
The problem is is that a fool and their money are easily parted, and there's a minority with disposable income who aren't smart enough to say no to this kind of thing. So they'll buy their gems, they'll buy their keys, they'll buy their mystic forge stuff, and all with real money. But none of these are direct price-for-product or price-for-service transactions.
A locked chest with temporary things inside is gambling and predatory, in my opinion. Whereas a clearly stated product on the cash shop for a price is honest. It's like... if I go to the Steam store, and I see a game, I see a price attached to that game. I pay the price and I get the game. I can read up about the product, and I might even be able to play a demo. So this is an honest transaction.
But for some reason, we have this minority who, via social engineering and other tricks, have been convinced that it's okay to put money down on something nebulous, where they aren't receiving a clearly laid out product in return. And unfortunately, there are enough fo these people (vs. the populace of the world) to fund a game and to tell a developer tha tthese predatory tactics are successful.
The fact of the matter is though is that in my opinion, an honest transaction-for-product system would get more customers, it would generate good will, it would be seen as accepting the customer's intelligence rather than trying to use social engineering tactics to convince them that gambling and throwing their money away is okay (it's not, it's total BS).
So they could offer a permanent buff for a set price. Instead, they take advantage of those who don't know better. I can't play a game that does that, you know? I've left other games behind in the past because they started doing that. I don't want a developer that gets by on doublespeak and social engineering. I want a developer that's honest. This is why I like the indies, I guess, and why in most cases I just avoid MMOs entirely.
The thing is is that even TERA gets this right, for all the infuriating flaws that game has.
Here is a product. Here is a price. You can find alternatives by playing the game. Whether you choose to buy this product or not is up to you. You can see this product being used in game and in these screenshots to decide on whether you want it or not.
That's an honest transaction.
Here are some dishonest examples from GW2:
Buy gems and convert them to gold to bypass that horrible grind! [Grind we created by lowering drop rates, and increasing gold prices in the game, whilst ensuring that only a tiny trickle of any kind of currency is even going into the game.]
Buy a key for a black lion chest! Who knows what's inside, it's a mystery! [It's a gamble that takes advantage of addictive personalities, it takes advantage of the person who's unable to say no to gambling. It takes advantage of the person who has a gambling problem.]
And this is why I have no respect for ArenaNet. From an ethical standpoint, it's not defendable. Oh, people will try, but it's not.

That kind of light using mystic forge grows up addiction, proved and tested, reason because every casino have the same kind of lights. Did it went anywhere? Did i see anyone telling me "Wt.. wait they are right. I'll call my lawyer if what they wrote is true".

Tonics. Gee... An item that costs me nothing, that requires a right-click worth of effort to get rid of, that brings other people joy. Kill it with holy water!
But I have to keep it because someday the things may be necessary for me to be able to continue to play the game! Like Mystery Tonics were for Halloween? Please refer to sentences two and three of this post.
A few years ago, several of the people posting I this thread would have been easy to spot as trolls. The scary thing is now... Some of you are obviously serious. If something like this is really that upsetting to you, I can only imagine what a cold, dark place the rest of the world must be for you.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 02:23 AM
How is it not a gamble when you're putting down real world money (on a key) for an uncertain outcome? Saying it isn't gambling doesn't automatically not make it gambling.
Also, closing your post with an insult (in the traditional ArenaNet faithful way, it seems) doesn't give your post any more credence. To the contrary, it helps to kill your credibility. There are some people I can't take seriously any more because they make jabs rather than arguments.
I see people like RJ making solid arguments, and then I see the faithfuls retorting with cheap shots. I know which side I'm happy to be on.

That is so YOU...and you look BEAUTIFUL: so sassy & chic!!! XOXO
ReplyDelete I have always HATED when people say ambiguous things like, "Oh you got a haircut!" or the one I get all the time "Your hair is SO long!" What does that mean? Is it bad long or good long? So glad that someone else realizes how annoying this is.
But on a happier note, I love this outfit, you look effortlessly wonderful :)At first I was like uh oh, I think I totally said, "this is so you," when we met to take photos that day, but then realized it was okay that I said that lol
Love these shoes and the fact that they were only $10 makes them the buy of 2013 for you so far. I mean, the 3 colors of glitter and they're comfy - I don't know what could be better!$10?! That is so awesome! I love getting a good deal like that. Love this entire look.

Police: Man says 3 men – one with a machete – robbed him, took his car
Wichita police are investigating an aggravated battery that occurred at 9:40 p.m. Saturday near 21st and Broadway.
A 47-year-old man told police three men in their 20s and 30s, one armed with a machete, approached him and pulled him from his vehicle, hitting him in the face two to three times, according to Sgt. John Hoofer, spokesman for the Wichita Police Department.
The three took the man's wallet and cellphone before chasing him; he went to a nearby liquor store. The three men then took the man's vehicle.
The man had minor injuries, Hoofer said, and the vehicle has not been recovered.

The 1KB CSS Grid is a simplified grid system and is one of many dozens of different grids available. I started using a personal variant of this grid system recently because it seemed like a very simple code-base to understand. A common complaint about CSS grids is that they require classes in the markup that aren't much different that simply hard-coding widths in a style attribute. Of course SASS can help remove that complaint and makes grids even more flexible. Here's a tour of the 1KB CSS Grid, modified to suit my tastes and rewritten in SASS.
UPDATE: a Github repo has been created for the 1KB-SCSS-Grid.
UPDATE: a follow up article, Compass Grid Plugin and A New Fluid Grid Option, has been posted.
UPDATE: the Github repo has been renamed to compass-grid-plugin and a Ruby Gem has been created.
For the uninitiated
Basic CSS
The above CSS is very similar to the original source with a few stylistic differences (dashes instead of underscores) and the removal of the overflow: hidden
clearfix hack and IE6 hacks. My intention is to use the grid with HTML5 Boilerplate which has a better clearfix built-in (overflow: hidden
isn't appealing as a clearfix hack). I've also chosen to remove IE6 from my list of supported browsers for any project that doesn't require it.
- Remove IE6 specific hacks
overflow: hidden
clearfix hacks -
.row .row
Add in a
for containers within columns - Rely on HTML5 Boilerplate and Modernizr for clearfix and browser targeting
Basic Example Using Only CSS
It's not immediately obvious how to piece this all together but the concepts are pretty simple.
is for column widths -
is for floating columns -
is a column container (columns are always nested in a row) -
is the main page wrapper with a full width and is horizontally centered.
Above is a typical page using the new HTML5 container tags and based on the example HTML5 Boilerplate markup. This example is shown with hard-coded class names in the HTML. As expected, there's a page wrapper (#container
), header
, #main
and footer
containers, and some columns in the main area. This page would create a typical 2 column layout (#left-column
and #main-column
). The #main-column
, as shown, has a .hero
area that spans the full width and a content area is further sub-divided into 2 columns (#content
and #right-column
On a typical site, the header
and footer
would probably contain their own columns and rows. The .hero
is used for promotional space at the top of content. This is a typical design choice and might contain a banner or a slideshow or some introductory copy.
Personally I find the inclusion of the class names in the markup to be a little ugly. The most offensive part is the grid-3
and grid-6
, etc. This is barely different than hard-coding the width with an inline style. I prefer to use SASS mixins to remove those class names from the markup altogether and control it directly from the CSS.
Rewritten in SASS
Writing the same thing in SASS opens up a world of possibilities. Using mixins allows the column measurements to be easily changed and opens up the possibility of removing the extra class names from the markup. This SASS file was used to generate the CSS at the top of the article.
Default Variables
$column-width: 60px;
is the width of a sinlge column -
$gutter-width: 20px;
is the space between two columns -
$columns: 12;
is the total number of columns - (60px + 20px) * 12 = 960px
Grid Mixins
and grid-plus
are simply used for setting a width on a column. grid-plus
can be used to account for padding or otherwise arbitrarily altering the standard column width. This is especially useful when dealing with designers that like grids but like violating them even more.
The example above shows 3 equivalent ways to specify a 6-column-wide column. The shortcut grid-column
mixin makes it easy to create a standard column. But in the case where a column might require border
or padding
, the grid-plus
mixin can be used to account for the difference.
@include grid(<number>);
is for column widths-
@include grid-plus(<number>, <length>);
is for columns that need a non-standard width
@include grid-column;
is for floating columns-
@include grid-column(<number>);
is a shortcut, the same as callinggrid(<number>)
consecutively -
@include grid-column-empty(<number>, <position>);
adds margin to create empty space either before or after the column
@include grid-row;
is a column container -
@include grid-page;
is the main page wrapper with a full width and is horizontally centered-
@include grid-page(<number>);
creates a page container that is less than the default page width; useful for modal pop-ups
Basic Example Using SASS
Using the ID's and class names already in the markup, it's possible to utilize the mixins that were created earlier to achieve the exact same effect. I typically do this in a layout file that contains all of the column layouts for the various templates in the site.
To Be Clear
is specified as agrid-page
are set up asgrid-row(true)
This essentially applies
to those container -
is used for rows contained directly within agrid-page
which ommits the negative margins that would otherwise be applied.
This essentially applies
and#right column
are specified as 3-columns wide -
is 9 columns wide. More importantly, allsection
tags are specified asgrid-row
, allowing them to contain columns. -
column is 6 columns wide.
From the above example it should be clear how to use mixins to apply the grid styles directly through CSS without needing to hard-code the grid related class names into the markup.
Compiled to CSS
Because SASS must be compiled to CSS for it to work in a browser, it's useful to see what CSS is being generated. The file below is what the layout.scss example file generated.
HTML Without the Hard-coded Class Names
SASS makes it possible to clean up the HTML and remove the extra classes.

Emerging Money Daily Audio Call May 5 – On the call today we discuss rising rates across Europe and also breakout levels in the US.
Emerging Money Daily Audio Call May 1 – On the call today we talk about a bounce in global markets today but one that is tepid at best in emerging market equities and small-cap stocks.
Winding Down April and Looking to May:
Sell in May??? Havent heard many using this oversued term but maybe worth a look. Last May was a major headfake for marketes.
Apples numbers were fantastic and the cash flow generation better than anything in history ( and better than most of European economies). We think markets are a little tired from US earnings season and this could play well for relative value trades towards EM.
We coined March 17, 2015 as Janet Yellen was poised to deliver a statement following the March FOMC meeting. The Dollar peaked around 100.40 and hasn't been back.
We expect a hike (good for currency) but think it may be last of the cycle for COPOM.
We love Apple as a company and as an innovator…and also as an EM powerhouse. Say what you want about Apples ASP price point being too high, but it's still a global aspirational brand that developing nation consumers want to own.
Emerging Money Daily Audio Call April 24 – Global markets moving higher with Latam taking center stage…Where do we see the most opportunity and is Brazil's recent strong performance more than bottom fishing?
Emerging Money Daily Audio Call April 23 – On today's call we discuss we review global markets that are sideways. EU PMIs and Greece are not the reason for why European equities are weaker today – Why then?? We review…

BACKWARDS IN HIGH HEELS - The Impossible Art of Being Female, by Tania Kindersley and Sarah Vine, covered everything from moral relativism to motherhood, feminism to face cream. This blog started as an extension of the book. It has evolved into a personal blog by Tania Kindersley, featuring food, horses, dogs, politics, daily life, random musings, an awful lot of human condition, and occasional moments of whimsy.
Sunday, 3 February 2013
A bit of a scratchy Sunday.
It took me a bit to work out what I was doing. For goodness' sake, I told myself, sternly: it's not all about you. I had to take enormous breaths, realise that it was not the creatures, but I who was in a shitty mood, and go right back to the beginning.
In the end, we worked it all out. We ended on the good note. This is practically the most important thing one can remember, with the non-humans. Probably with the humans too.
Red, who had been standing quiet and still as the Rock of Gibraltar through all the shenanigans, looked at me as if to say: you see, you eejit, it was always going to be fine in the end.
I don't know what's got into her at the moment, but she's taken on some uber-Zen wise woman thing. The weird thing is that people always say your horse is a mirror of you. I am certainly nowhere near the state of Zen that my lovely girl is currently achieving. Perhaps she is in the business of showing me what my best self could be like, if only I concentrated hard enough.
I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment. I've taken on three new projects; I'm still battling to come back from a severe professional setback. Several things are up in the air. There is uncertainty and struggle. I suppose that is just what life is, and I need to butch up a bit and get my good, stoical, determined foot forward. I'm usually pretty good at bashing on, but sometimes I feel a little out of my depth.
None of this is disastrous. It's all very small stuff, in the wide picture. It's the kind of thing that can be dealt with with a bit more sleep and some iron tonic and a proper dose of perspective. Most of the time, I feel possible and optimistic. I have plans and dreams and daily happinesses. But there are sudden moments when the difficult things back up on me, and I can see the fall, and that's when I tumble into scratchiness.
So I take a deep breath, and write it down, and share with the group (oh you Dear Readers, what you have to put up with), and square my shoulders and bugger on.
The lovely Overturn, one of my most beloved horses in training, is about to go out and strut his stuff at Musselburgh, and that shall be six minutes of pure, undilute pleasure. He's one of the happiest horses I've ever seen on a racecourse. He's really good at what he does, and he just loves doing it. He's only a novice, and, with luck, he'll be giving me joy for a few seasons to come.
In other words, back to the small things. As long as a bonny horse in a northern race can still lift my heart, then I know nothing is so very bad.

I think it's pretty normal to feel unsettled yourself when your work is overwhelming and uncertain. It is definitely that way for me. I have to just take hold of it, make the calls or get the job done in order to feel peaceful again. Sometimes it doesn't matter if the work is piled up so long as I know WHAT THE PLAN IS. So the scratchiness (love that term for it) makes total sense to me.
Could be all the snow too, that does it to the hubby.
Lovely picture of your hill today.

Telework remains a work in progress
Tuesday - 11/2/2010, 6:00am EDT
Yes, we can -- is President Obama's message about telework and the federal government.
The White House reiterated its strong support of flexible workplace arrangements -- which includes telework -- to make government more productive, and agencies more attractive to potential employees.
"There are steps we can all take to help - implementing practices like telework, paid leave, and alternative work schedules - and my administration is committed to doing its part to help advance these practices across the country," Obama said in a statement in late October.
Obama said employees "are more productive" in a flexible workplace environment.
"It's not just good for business or for our economy - it's good for our families and our future."
However, many agencies are still struggling to implement robust telework programs.
"It seems like a no-brainer," Cindy Auten, general manager of the Telework Exchange, tells Government Computer News. "There is a resistance to change by management at work. That's where most of the resistance is."

Influence of quantum coherence on propagation of a pulsed light in a triple quantum well |
Optics Express, Vol. 19, Issue 13, pp. 11944-11950 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1112 KB)
In a triple semiconductor quantum well structure coupled by two external fields, we investigate the influence of atomic coherence induced by external fields and decay interference on the absorption and dispersion of a weak pulsed light, and slow light can be achieved in this system. Quantum well structure behaves as "artificial atom" and its advantage of easy integration makes it has some practical applications.
